How do you know it's because of privacy concerns and not because they've exhausted the market of people who want to know about this kind of info? This is very much a one and done type of product -- in fact, the reason I myself hav

Do you think most people would have an issue with their data being used in this way? I think only a very small minority of folks would -- and they're exactly the kind of person who would avoid this service from the get go.

This isn't saying much without distinguishing between angular 1 vs 2+ which are essentially completely different frameworks.

If you believe the TIOBE index, the popularity of python peaked around 2008-2009 and then slid to a low around 2014-2015 -- and now it's more popular than it's ever been. https://www.notonlycode.org/content/i

Any that definitely supported some form of individual rights? As a total weirdo it frightens me to think that I might have been born into a society where my differences may have caused me great suffering at the hands of tradition.

At least on my corner of twitter, threads gained huge popularity after a spontaneous event ran by @vgr (of ribbonfarm, premium mediocre, and gervais principle fame) at the end of 2019 called threadapalooza. It's now being turned into a

Dragging random people before congress always seems to be a politically motivated media circus of some kind or another. Why should these affairs hold any legal weight whatsoever?

Personally, I could care less if the UI elements themselves are fuzzy when using non-integer scaling. I love high-dpi screens mainly for reading text, and as far as I can tell non-integer scaling doesn't seem to make it fuzzy? Either w

Re: pay, here's a comment of mine from another thread on this topic. You need to take into consideration that there are two sides to this market -- the supply side and demand side: There's a lot of stuff to ship, but margins on th

So an EU commission thinks google should not be allowed to show you results from their specialized product search at the top of a results page when it thinks you're comparison shopping because rival comparison shop services can't

Not a downvoter, but I find this line of argument to be very poorly thought out. Why shouldn't google be able to paste ads for its products on certain searches? Why shouldn't amazon be able to do the same with product searches? Wh

Having lived in Indiana for most of my life, and knowing folks who are teachers there still, I can vouch for the first statement. Not so much the second though -- yes, these high salaries are in HCOL areas, but I'm not aware of crazy a

It's not too surprising. How can anyone trust a journalism that has chosen to prioritize advocacy over the nuts and bolts of reporting? Fox news was the first -- it's all Fox news today. See https://www.city-journal.org

It's typical for Vox reporting (parent company of the Verge) -- but also typical for pretty much any vaguely left leaning publication (see also nytimes). They seek out the most populist angle on every story, regardless of how eyerollin

Of course, even that is only part of the information you would need to estimate deaths. You would need to further extrapolate that anti-vaccine groups were X% more likely to harm someone, etc.

If people died, and this is the justification for such a policy, surely there is an analysis on how many. Could you point to one? I can't seem to find any myself, just googling around a bit.

Could we reframe this in a way that takes both supply and demand sides into consideration? Something like: There's a lot of stuff to ship, but margins on those things are very thin + demand for said stuff is extremely elastic due to it

The page explains this with a small note: "Race/Ethnicity data were available for 64% receiving at least one dose and 69.1% of people fully vaccinated". So increasing the numbers by about 50% to account for that makes it look

"Lying" implies malicious intent. Are you really sure you want to go down that road? Are you really saying you're fine with someone telling you falsehoods so long as it's in what they believe to be your best interest?
